Job Opportunity: Postdoctoral Scholar in Coastal Ocean Modeling and Applications

[Yonggang Liu]

All,

We seek a motivated postdoctoral scholar in coastal ocean modeling to join the Ocean Circulation Lab at the University of South Florida College of Marine Science.  Successful candidates will engage in a program of coordinated observing and modeling toward better understanding the ocean circulation on the West Florida Shelf (WFS) and its applications in marine environmental issues of societal importance. Presently maintained automated coastal ocean modeling nowcast/forecast systems are based on the Finite Volume Community Ocean Model (FVCOM). We are interested in further improvements to these systems and their applications in storm surge forecast and ecosystem simulation (e.g., red tide, water quality).

Minimum qualifications: PhD in Physical Oceanography (or related field) with a firm grounding in Geophysical Fluid Dynamics and satisfactory written and oral communication skills.

 

Preference: Numerical ocean modeling experience is preferred. We seek candidates who have demonstrated excellence in scholarly creativity and productivity in coastal oceanography research.

 

Please submit a cover letter, curriculum vitae, and contact information for three referees. Applications will be reviewed as received, and the position will remain open until filled.  Appointment is available immediately.  Initial appointment is for one year, with extensions desirable based on performance and funding availability.

 

To apply, please submit an application and requested materials through the USF Recruitment website

 

For information regarding this available position, please contact me.

 

Thanks,

Yonggang Liu
